Q: My husband & I are recently separated. My husband has been working out of town & staying with his brother. Today he came
To pick up my son, along with my son’s belongings & take him with him without my knowledge or consent. He stated that he would be enrolling him in school in the town that he is currently working. My son is already enrolled in the school district that he has attended since kindergarten. He is about to start the 10th grade. My son is 15 & wants to go with his dad although I do not think it is the best thing for him especially since my husband doesn’t even legally reside in the town he is staying in. My question is- can he legally do this? Can he legally take my son 7 hours away from home & enroll
Him in school without my consent. (We are recently separated & I am in the process of trying to find. Divorce attorney to file for divorce)
A: If there are no court orders he can do that. You biggest problem is your son wants to live with dad. A judge may let a 15 year old live with his dad.
